Good News
It is really a wonderful thing to receive good news.
I have been dealing with some medical issues. For quite some time I have had several bothersome kidney stones, and was told I may need surgery to remove them. In addition, something on my pancreas was noted on an earlier CT scan that was a cause for concern.
Many dear friends and loved ones have been praying for me. I went to the doctor yesterday and received an
amazingly good report. According to the recent CT scan the stones in my left kidney seem to have decreased and those in the right are the same - not any more or larger in size- which is good. And whatever was on my pancreas was not seen on this most recent scan!!!!!!!!!!!!! They will follow-up in several months but at this point no surgery is needed.
I am grateful for all those who prayed for me and so thankful that God answered all of those prayers!
I also heard a great story that was aired on the Today Show about a little boy and his family who experienced a genuine miracle. If you want to watch an inspiring video click this link: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/39229696#39229696
To God be the glory for these examples of His lovingkindness.
As I was considering the good news I received as well as the incredible account of the toddler whose life was spared, I was reminded that the best news of all is the Gospel. In fact, one definition of gospel is: Glad tidings; especially, the good news concerning Christ, the Kingdom of God, and salvation
When Jesus our Savior was born there was an angelic proclamation that His birth iis ndeed Good News.
Luke 2:10-11 (New American Standard Bible)
But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is) Christ)the Lord.
I was filled with joy to share the good news of my positive medical report and delighted to observe the great news story about that precious child who survived. As wonderful as these are I must truly acknowlede even more so that the Gospel is indeed good news and worth sharing.
